Analyst Opinion

The Dairy Products & Eggs market in the GCC region has been experiencing minimal growth, influenced by factors such as changing consumer preferences, increasing health consciousness, and the availability of substitutes. While milk, yogurt, and cheese remain popular, the market for substitutes is also growing. However, the overall growth rate is impacted by factors such as fluctuating prices and supply chain complexities.

Customer preferences:
Consumers in the GCC region have shown a growing interest in organic and natural dairy products and eggs, as they prioritize health and wellness in their food choices. This trend is further driven by the increasing awareness of the potential health risks associated with consuming processed and artificial ingredients. As a result, there has been a rise in demand for locally sourced and ethically produced dairy and egg products. Additionally, there is a growing preference for dairy-free and plant-based alternatives, catering to the rising number of health-conscious and vegan consumers in the region.

Trends in the market:

Additionally, there is an increasing focus on sustainability and ethical practices in the production of dairy and egg products, which is driving the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly farming methods. This trend is significant for industry stakeholders as it presents opportunities for market growth and differentiation. However, it also poses challenges in terms of sourcing and production costs.
